KJV - 1 Kings 1:13

Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?

"Go to King David and tell him, 'Didn't you, my lord king, promise your servant that Solomon, your son, would rule after you and sit on your throne? So why is Adonijah ruling instead?'"
